Like most people whenever im bored and have a newspaper or magazine to hand I find images of people and doodle other them, which I have done with some more of my passport images. It brings an element of wonder and fun. I think it can also perhaps bring out the personality of the person in the image. I began just doodling simple things, for instance this image of my sister when she was a child, i have given her big bunny ears and in another a big top hat like the mad hatter.
These works reminded me of some of Arnulf Rainer’s work where he used images of people and famously painted over them. His however being in more of a dark sense and more nightmarish.
